I wanted to scratch that harpy’s eyes out, not hand Kristian over on a silver platter, but I reminded myself tonight wasn’t about me and that I wouldn’t disrupt Cree’s event.

The soft snort escaped before I could push it back. Marta would get a kick out of that. The snide bitch would laugh, thank me for being the bigger person, literally. I felt my frown deepen. There was no way in hell that Marta would have been that gracious, and while my mother had always taught me that I was responsible for my actions, that I couldn’t let other people change who I was, I could admit that I was sorely disappointed at having to hold my tongue.

But that was okay.

Kristian had seemed vaguely disgusted earlier in the day, something Marta was either too stupid to see or willfully ignored. And more to the point, Kristian wasn’t mine. I wasn’t handing him over on a platter; I was simply doing what I could to ensure that a really good friend of mine had a wonderful evening.

In that moment, I decided I wouldn’t let Marta destroy that, no matter how much she might try.

Besides, a little bit of a break was in order.

Being that close to Kristian, all the fantasy trappings around us, was dangerous for me.

I hadn’t exactly been avoiding him in the last week, but I’d been more than happy to tell myself we were too busy to see each other and not push the point.

Because after I had left him the last time, all I had thought about, all that I could think about, was that kiss.

Even now, my breath quickened at the thought of it, my body sparking to life.

I had viewed my request of Kristian as primarily utilitarian. It wouldn’t be a hardship for me to kiss him, to make love to him, and I was realistic enough to accept that.

But after that kiss, things had changed. It wasn’t about it not being a hardship. Now it was about it being something I wanted, craved, a feeling that scared me.

Because I knew I was playing a very dangerous game.

That want, that hunger, could easily turn on me, get me into a situation I wasn’t equipped to handle.

And when it was over, where would I be then?

I didn’t know, and I was going to do everything in my power to make sure I didn’t find out.

I left the library and ventured out onto the lawn, grateful for the cool breeze and a few moments by myself. I found a quiet, relatively secluded spot at the edge of the lawn.

“You hiding out?” Cree asked.

“Hey! I didn’t hear you, and what are you doing out here?” I said after I gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

“Same thing you are. I needed some air,” she said.

I glanced at Cree, who was positively radiant in one of the dresses we had picked out. Nothing about her appearance was out of place, and in fact her caramel skin was flushed with the glow that I could only call happiness.
